Time Reaches for a Murderer

The actual story was that he died a natural death many years ago -- if
this term can even be applied to cancer as a disease. But it is possible
that Pablo Neruda, one of the greatest poets of the last century and a
person with a repeated emphasis in the zodiac sign of Cancer, may have
been the victim of a poisoner back then. He certainly experienced
difficult times in the astrological sense: In September of 1973, Saturn
went direct and Pluto moved from the square just above his difficult
conjunction of Mars-Neptune in the 8th House. Especially due to the
involvement of the Pisces Lord, the new murder by poisoning hypothesis is
ultimately not as far-fetched as it may sound at first glance –
particularly since it comes from the police, more than 40 years after the
incident. The investigation has now been reopened with an extreme
delay.

A confidante of the poet (his chauffeur and secretary) had long
claimed that Augusto Pinochet had the Nobel Prizewinner killed due to his
sympathies for the Allende Government and because he could have become a
problem after the putsch. What was initially dismissed in the world as
classic legend creation cannot be so easily denied when seen in
astrological terms. In the horoscope comparison, the dictator places his
Pluto on Pablo Neruda's Mars-Neptune and this illustrates his Pluto
transits at the time of death far too well for these correlations to be
simply construed. In all of his passion and eloquence, the poet was
already a type of shadow for the general. His Sun is reflected directly
on Neruda's gateway in Cancer: his strength of soul, love of existence
and inner homeland, which he painted with words like hardly anyone before
and after him.

Where Pinochet has a Cancer Moon that is just as wistful/melancholy
and dramatic as that of Neruda but blocked by the Saturn conjunction, the
former tends to live his persona of the Sagittarius Sun. On the other
hand, the reality images of the artist – who was ten years older –
develop with a lightness and magnitude that can drive smaller minds
(above all, those controlled by emotional anxiety) to unusual deeds. If
it was murder, then not just one of calculation but passion and envy
about an existence that Pinochet must have killed within himself at an
early point in time.

The Chilean police are now searching for the facts about a man who
was supposedly involved in the death of Pablo Neruda. He is said to have
been tall, blond, and blue-eyed: the typical category of the film hero
that is almost too striking as to presume that it occurs in reality. But
under such transits as Neruda’s, many things are possible that would
otherwise seem like a fairytale or taken directly from a B movie. That
mysterious stranger (as only revealed recently by the physician who
allegedly was present at the poet’s death) who claimed that he was a
doctor, the murder by poisoning, the most vehement transits, and
political enmities: All of this is woven into a fabric that also comes
from the Neptunian, which served the literary man with Mars-Neptune as an
inner wellspring throughout his lifetime.

With the full 8th House (and its ruler in his own, very sensitive
sign), Pablo Neruda descended increasingly into the depths of the soul's
underworld. He was a diver into the emotional realm, someone who drilled
into the household of feelings but also fought throughout his life
against the developments of fascism. All of his actions still speak for
the correctness of his not entirely stable birth time. The constructively
lived Plutonian – which people with the 8th House so often can bring into
the world as an "antidote" for the chronic cage of power and
helplessness in their feelings – ran through his life in a complete and
powerfully eloquent manner.

The mysterious stranger by the
name of Price, who may have given the 69-year-old a poisonous injection,
is now suspected to have been a CIA double agent. This also fits in
outstandingly with Neptune, Mars, the Sun, the Moon, Venus, and Mercury
in this field for Neruda. Pluto is the spy par excellence, the seeker and
finder that encodes secrets as the long arm of Scorpio and creates new
ones that otherwise just Neptune keeps like this in the eternal flow.
Pinochet has Mercury in Scorpio, which is the tendency toward intrigues,
encryptions, and a strong power problem - and this is joined by a lively
Uranus in Aquarius in the 8th House, which can suddenly go crazy when it
comes down to its essence, the substance, and its sense for threats. Just
like Jupiter, Uranus can be paranoid. Saturn as Lord 8 stands at the
closed Moon in Cancer due to Saturn here; from the perspective of the
dictator, this may have predestined someone like Neruda to be a fabulous
player of the victim role in the perpetrator cosmos.

But from the astrological perspective, it is also possible that a
woman could have played a role in his death – in addition to the
distinctly Plutonian interconnections that can indicate brutal murders
(which is not rare, especially in relationship to Mars). This is because
Lilith (the scapegoat and manipulator) stands in almost exact opposition
to the mundane Saturn with the North Node and in the square to Pluto. At
that time, shortly before his death, all of these elements worked
together to illuminate – or actually darken – Neruda's Mars-Neptune. On
the Axis 2 (his birth time really does not have a good rating), this
clearly speaks of boundary encroachments from the female side. These
clear the path for the Plutonian death aspiration in the first place and
serve as a door opener for it. Someone or something must open the
boundary in House 2 so that the injury in the attachment to reality can
penetrate into House 8.

According to the new developments in a case that is more than 40 years
old and was not even a case up to now, many things are currently still
unclear and completely open once again. It appears certain that there is
new evidence. Neruda was exhumed in April because of the vague suspicion
precisely at the point in time when he once again -- this time from
Capricorn -- posthumously had the same Pluto transits through the 8th
House planets as at the time of his death. But when the poet died, Uranus
(next to the above-mentioned Plutonian and Saturnine transits) stood very
close in the square to his Mercury-Venus conjunction. Neruda's resistance
was intensely crippled in any case. A sudden event (and this does not
mean death itself) may have affected him and once again dominantly
weakened him.

The description of the presumed double agent is said to
indicate a man by the name of Michael Townley; he had cooperated with the
Chileans for the USA over a period of time. Since he was born in 1942 but
without a precisely known date, the only aspects that can be determined
in the astrological sense are the slow-moving planets. This includes the birth
Neptune, which has a sharp opposition of Uranus and Pluto in the radix of
the poet. If the birth time is correct, Pluto is the natural significator
for all 8th House problems here, as everywhere else, as an approach for
the (co) description of the death circumstances with which the Neptune of
the suspect would begin. This means that the CIA man does not fall
through the grid that is "necessary" for such a death but
completes it.

Traces of poison have supposedly already been found in Pablo Neruda's
corpse by using modern methods, but whether or not these are just strong
medications will only be certain after further tests. These were used to
fight the cancer that the poet definitely also had. However, the
combination with Pinochet still provides triggers today: Its Jupiter is
located at 11 degrees Libra and – as the conflict-oriented connection
including the suspicion is turned into a problem and pulled out of its
deep hole – it is activated by the mundane square between Uranus and
Pluto.

At the time of Neruda’s death, Uranus was in the square to their
mutual Moon-Neptune – a subliminal gender competition. Yet, the
astonishing thing is that Neptune (as the planet of insidious poisoning)
still moved within the orb of both Mars at that time, which repeats the
poet’s death aspect on an entirely different level. If his ascendant
status of Sagittarius is correct, the Pisces Lord was already on the way
to the rising sign and in the process of once again repeating the already
existing (death) constellation through the 1st House as the Mars analogy.
This would doubly strengthen the poison hypotheses from the astrological
perspective. That Pinochet's Sun revolted after a recently lapsed Neptune
transit in conjunction (of all things) is probably due to his water
trigon that offers a large amount of vague, subliminal opportunities to
jump on the starting train with Mercury, Jupiter, and Moon-Saturn.

"Fate" has no ethics – just in case anyone bases their
assumption on such a term in this strange story by way of exception. The
approaching mundane water trine (which itself is trigonal to Neruda's
Cancer constellations) will bring the truth to light one way or another.
The man who understood the entire world as a mother since his own died
when he was just four weeks old and expressed his connection with the
soul sign of Cancer in such a completely soft and dignified manner,
deserves this clarification. His burial with the greatest commiseration
by the people was called a symbolic "funeral of freedom" by the
lioness Isabel Allende.

In his Ode to the Atom, the poet – as clairvoyant as he
could be – almost described the possible history of his death, even if he
probably did not even realize it. But perhaps he sensed it:

Infinitesimal star, you seemed forever buried
in metal, hidden your diabolical fire.
One day someone knocked at your tiny door;
it was man. With one explosion, he unchained you,
you saw the world, you came out into the daylight,
you traveled through the cities, your great brilliance
illuminated lives, you were a terrible fruit of electrical
beauty,
you came to hasten the flames of summer,
and then wearing a predator's eyeglasses, armor,
and a checked shirt, sporting sulphuric mustaches,
and a prehensile tail, came the warrior and seduced you:
sleep, he told you, curl up, atom..."
